Kate McKinnon does a spot-on Gal Gadot impression for Jimmy Fallon

06 December 2017

Listen, impressions are a dime a dozen.

"We usually talk about what movies we've seen, what TV we've seen", McKinnon explained. Like, everyone had a Trump, a Shatner, a Walken.

On Tuesday night, the Saturday Night Live alum stopped by Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show and opened up about recently bonding with Gal Gadot. "Yes, Gal, ma'am! Thank you!'" Where would you even begin? The amusing woman sprinkled in her impression as she explained what it was like to work with her.

Kate McKinnon, mistress of impressions, added another to her rotating roster.

"In the case of this [film], I was playing a goat, so [the script] said "regurgitation noises" a bunch and 'goat scream, '" she said. "We talked to her a lot and we realized, 'Oh, okay, now we are Midwestern toads compared to this Mediterranean goddess", she said. According to McKinnon, she and fellow SNL amusing lady Aidy Bryant quickly understood Gadot's essence.

If you have never heard Gadot speak out of character, make sure to watch an interview beforehand to truly appreciate the likeness of McKinnon's impression.

For example, when McKinnon asked the actress what her hobbies are, Gadot replied in her signature soothing voice, "I love to go to the beach".

In a sketch spoofing "Wonder Woman", Gadot locked lips with McKinnon when the later, playing a lesbian, arrived in Themyscira, the mythical island only inhabited by handsome women, where the superheroine hails from.
